    Any experience with bluetooth headsets?

    I'm interested in a headset to go inside any helmet for bike to bike communications, phone, and music. Anyone have recommendations on products and/or places to buy? I checked this out last year but seemed everything was too expensive and reviews were mixed.

    Thanks!

    Don't reccomend it. Too distracting.

    I haven't seen any headsets that you can stick in your ear and then get a helmet on, Nolan is making a bluetooth helmet with everything built in

    haven't heard any reviews

    AutoCom has a new bluetooth system

    I use this:

    Motorola Motorola HS830 Helmet Headset

    works pretty well... fits well into my HJC... obviously not the greatest at highway speeds... but then again I have a noisey helmet...

    Good for you... How long did it take you to master that lil trick. I bet it took YOU alot of hard work.

    I am so proud.

    Some of us try to enlighten people with limited experience that it might not be such a good Idea to add other distractions to their riding.

    Just a thought. But thanks for your input sunshine.

    Youre saying bluetooth but talking bike to bike..if you want both, you'll have to tell us how much you want to spend first.

    If you just want a decent BT headset for communications, I have these and love them:
    scala rider Teamset | CARDO SYSTEMS INC.

    This is the single version:
    scala rider | CARDO SYSTEMS INC.


    Both of the above don't do bike to bike, only bluetooth stuff.


    This is their bike to bike to mobile to whatever - version:
    scala rider Q2 | CARDO SYSTEMS INC.

    Haven't used the Q2 but if it's like their other stuff it should work very well. The Scala stuff got a bad rap because when it first came out it had some bugs. Their stuff has had a good revamp though and I'm pleased with my stuff.
